That has been a question of mine and which has confused me more that a bit:  
How much does the Order know of the Prophecy?  Who knows all of it?  Is it 
just Dumbledore and now Harry?  Sybil appears to have forgotten it, seeing as she 
keeps predicting Harry's death in class and she couldn't remember telling 
Harry about Wormtail returning to his master in that 'funny' voice in PoA when 
she went into that trance after Harry's exam.

Now, members of the Order had been guarding the DoM.  I figure that they knew 
'of' the Prophecy and that it pertained to Harry and maybe V also but that 
doesn't mean that they knew all of it.  I doubt it or Moody would not have 
remarked, "There's something funny about that Potter kid, we all know that."  I 
think they knew there was some connection between Harry and V, but that they 
didn't know exactly what.  Question is... will they find out in Book 6?
